Linux 2.6.33-rc3 Kernel Released

Phoronix: Linux 2.6.33-rc3 Kernel Released

As the first post-holiday kernel update, Linus Torvalds has put out the Linux 2.6.33-rc3 kernel release. This new release candidate for the Linux 2.6.33 kernel brings in some EXT4 file-system updates, switching the recommended IEEE-1394 Firewire stack to the new stack, various driver updates, and much more. The Linux 2.6.33-rc3 kernel release announcement can be read at LKML.org...

Last night I hooked up Samsung 2343BW on DVI>DVI connection instead of 2343NW DVI>VGA>VGA connection on my PhenomX3 ATI HD 3650 512M. If I use 2.6.32-10 it is great! This 2.6.32-10 is one of the best kernels I've seen in some time. If I try 2.6.33-999(7-Jan-2010) it looses connection while entering GDM and I can restore it by turning it off on a rocker switch (on the back) (not on a touch switch on the front panel). It is the same with KMS and without it. Once that obstacle is solved everything is OK. It works nicely, also, with 2.6.32-9 but not nearly as good as with 2.6.32-10. The same problem is on either one of two DVI outputs. What could be the difference between .32 and .33 kernels that make this "problem"? I did not have this problem with analog connection. Nevertheless change from analog to digital was worth it.
